Measuring vehicle emissions on a chassis dynamometer
To comply with newest emission legislation it is necessary to test vehicle emissions on chassis dynamometer with the corresponding driving cycles.
VULCAN Evo
Chassis Dynamometer
The high-precision chassis dynamometer VULCAN Evo is suitable for testing light-duty vehicles (LDV) and medium-duty vehicles (MDV). It is available as either a two-wheel or a four-wheel drive set-up. This chassis dynamometer simulates a realistic driving profile, which allows data from road tests to be reproduced in the laboratory. Possible applications cover the full vehicle development and certification process, including durability and fuel economy testing, State of Charge (SoC) testing, emission certification and climatic testing.
- Suitable for current and future drive technologies, including hybrid, battery and fuel cell electric vehicles
- Axle load of up to 2 500 kg (light-duty) and 4 500 kg (medium-duty)
- High power (350 kW) and high speed (300 km/h) option
- Choice between heated or motorized bearings
- Different temperature ranges between -40 and 50 °C
SPECIAL APPLICATIONS FOR VEHICLE TESTING
- Efficiency measurements for electric vehicles
- GTR15 procedure of vehicle losses for road load determination
